Top 10 Beauty Finds from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Did you know that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends this Sunday, August 4th? Yes, I know it feels like it’s been happening for a century, but prices will go up next Monday — time to get in your last-minute sale picks while you can!

While the clothing selection might be a bit picked over at this point, a lot of beauty items are still available for sale. I usually pick up 1-2 new beauty exclusives during the sale because one, Nordstrom carries a ton of products I use regularly, and two, the bundle deals usually do save me money in the long run. 

I’m sharing some of my Top 10 favorite beauty deals from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale today — and FYI, I spotted more beauty products in-store when I visited this week if you have the chance to shop IRL this weekend!

The Grand Reopening of LensCrafters Arlington, VA

Fun fact about me? I got my first pair of glasses when I was six years old. Both of my parents wear glasses, so it was inevitable that I would need them as well!

When I was 13, I decided to start wearing contact lenses — and I’m not going to lie, for the longest time I thought glasses made me look a bit dorky. Teenagers are the worst, right? However, as I got older, I realized that the right pair of glasses could make a fashion statement.

The day has finally come: the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is now finally open to the public!

To be candid, a good number of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale items sold out during the presale for Nordstrom Cardholders. Most of the clothing I purchased last week is now sold out. I’m going to keep an eye out for restocks and share them on either Instagram Stories or the LikeToKnow.It app!

Although most of my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale clothing picks are sold out, I’m finding that shoes are still nearly fully stocked! I think shoes are a fantastic piece to invest in during this sale — boots can get pricey, and I rarely ever see my favorite fall/winter shoes go on sale before they sell out. I’m loving the shoe options this year, and I’m rounding up my Top 10 favorite shoe picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year!

Two sale posts in a row? It must be July! A few hours ago, Amazon Prime Day deals went live, and I’ve had fun shopping some of the deals thus far.

You can shop Prime Day if you’re an Amazon Prime member. Don’t have a membership? No problem! You can do a 30-day trial of Prime to see if you like it! 

I think this year, the home and technology picks are incredible. Admittedly, I was a little disappointed with the fashion picks for this years’ sale. However, I’ve already gotten my clothing fix with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, so it’s probably for the best!
